Publisher Marketing: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Scirus is a comprehensive science-specific search engine. Like CiteSeer and Google Scholar, it is focused on scientific information. Unlike CiteSeer, Scirus is not only for computer sciences and IT and not all of the results include full text. It also leverages its scientific search results to Scopus, an abstract and citation database covering scientific research output globally. Scirus is owned and operated by Elsevier. Google Scholar is a freely-accessible Web search engine that indexes the full text of scholarly literature across an array of publishing formats and disciplines. Released in beta in November 2004, the Google Scholar index includes most peer-reviewed online journals of Europe and America's largest scholarly publishers. It is similar in function to the freely-available Scirus from Elsevier, CiteSeerX, and getCITED. It is also similar to the subscription-based tools, Elsevier's Scopus and Thomson ISI's Web of Science. Its advertising slogan - "Stand on the shoulders of giants" - is a nod to the scholars who have contributed to their fields over the centuries, providing the foundation for new intellectual achievements.
